No clear way to install executables on Windows #5748

Description

It seems that cabal new-install is quite insistent on installing executables with symlinks. However, this facility is not available on Windows. Consequently any attempt to use new-install on Windows ends with either cabal-install complaining that symlink-bindir is not defined or that symlinks aren't supported on Windows.
